RBC substitutes Flashcards
study for blood substitutes have been continued because of?
its potential use in case of shortages of donated blood
first established in — but caused serious side effects like renal failure. this might be due to stromal remnants in hemoglobin solutions.
hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers
“stroma-free hemoglobin solutions”
first established in 1949
hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers also known as?
stroma-free hemoglobin solutions
was developed but did not readily deliver oxygen
ultra-purified stroma-free hemoglobin
why ultra-purified stroma-free hemoglobin is unable to deliver oxygen?
because of loss of 2,3-DPG during processing
this refers to synthetic hydrocarbon structures in which all the hydrogen atoms have been replaced with fluorine
perfluorochemicals (perfluorocarbons)
chemically inert, excellent gas solvents, and carry O2 and CO2 by dissolving them.
perfluorochemicals (perfluorocarbons)
perfluorochemicals (perfluorocarbons) is a small sized which can pass thru areas of — and deliver — to — that are inaccesible to RBCs.
can pass thru areas of vasoconstriction and deliver oxygen to tissues
potential benefits of artificial oxygen carriers
10 only ky kapoy type :P
- abundant supply
- can be stockpiled for emergencies and warfare
- no need for typing and crossmatching
- available for immediate infusion
- extended shelf-life
- can be stored at room temperature
- free of blood-borne pathogens
- at full oxygen capacity immediately
- can deliver oxygen to tissue that is inaccessible to RBCs
- have been accepted by Jehovah’s witnesses
- could eventually cost less than units of blood
enumerate the information that is required on the label (9)
- proper name of the blood component (with included indication of any qualification or modification such as irradiation)
- method of collection
- expiration date (time if applicable)
- donor category
- volume of the blood component
- the anticoagulent used in the preparation of the compoennt
- screening test results
- storage temp requirements of the blood componeny
- special handling instructions
